Posted Mar 8, 2019
Duke is not expecting Zion Williamson to play against North Carolina this weekend. But, that hasn't altered the Tar Heels' game plan. "We're preparing like Zion is going to play," Roy Williams said. "We have no say over it, so why worry about it? We're going to prepare to play Duke University and whoever has that uniform on, we're going to give a scouting report." (Sporting News)
